Costco Tops Appliances, Great Wall Supermarket Leads Grocers in J.D. Power and Newsweek Rankings

When it comes to buying appliances, people who prioritize price over other factors end up less satisfied in the long run. That's what the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Appliance Satisfaction Study found out. Shoppers who bought appliances on sale just because of the low price had an overall satisfaction score of 714 out of 1,000. But those who looked for long-term benefits like energy savings or good warranties were much happier, scoring 777 and 770.
